This Martin Custom Shop Edition takes the classic Dread design and gives it an elegant new voice with domestically sourced Black Walnut back and sides. Complemented by European Flamed Maple bindings and natural fiber inlays, this model showcases how American hardwoods can provide both stunning looks and remarkable tonal character.
